EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, sourced from The Keasbury-Gordon Photograph Archive Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to an Edwardian era rugby match in Moseley, England. The image features John H. Rogers (seated, third from left) proudly donning the jersey of his local rugby club. The photograph, captured on a lantern slide, showcases the rugged charm and raw athleticism of the sport during the late Victorian and early Edwardian eras. John H. Rogers, with his stern expression and steely gaze, embodies the spirit of determination and grit that defined rugby during this period. His teammates, clad in their traditional rugby attire, are seen in various stages of the game – some in the midst of a scrum, others in the act of passing the ball, and others in quiet contemplation before the next play. The lush, green grass of the playing field stretches out before them, providing a stark contrast to the rugged, industrial landscape that would have dominated the surrounding areas during this time. The lantern slide, a popular medium for projecting photographs during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, adds an extra layer of nostalgia to this already evocative image. The photograph offers a rare glimpse into the past, allowing us to connect with the people and events that shaped the history of rugby in Moseley and beyond. This image is not only a testament to the enduring popularity of the sport but also a reminder of the rich cultural heritage that continues to inspire and captivate us today.
